Chanelle Hayes has revealed that she plans to have a tummy tuck and a breast lift after secret surgery.
The 35-year-old former Big Brother housemate lost nine stone after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery in August 2020, in which she dropped from a size 18 to a size 10.
In a new interview with OKAY! Magazine, Chanelle said: ‘I’m 8 now and a dress size 6-8. Last summer, I was about 9.5 pounds and before my sleeve was fitted, I was a size 22 and 17.4 pounds.
‘I feel like I’m getting old’: Chanelle Hayes has revealed she plans to have a tummy tuck and breast lift after secret surgery
“I’ve actually been really stressed with college deadlines and kids’ schedules with schools and their parents and I think that caused the weight loss.
“It means I have more loose skin, so even though I still feel a million times better than when I wasn’t healthy, now I’m thinking, ‘Maybe I want to do something about it,’ so I’m considering a tummy tuck.
The reality show kicked off, adding, “I feel like it’s getting a little old on me,” before admitting that she’s also considering a breast lift because she thinks her breasts are “disfigured” after surgery.
Chanelle underwent her gastric operation in 2020, explaining at the time that the operation was a “last resort” after struggling with her weight for years.
In a new interview with OK! Magazine, Chanelle said: “It means I have more loose skin, so even though I still feel a million times better than I did when I wasn’t healthy, now I’m thinking, ‘Maybe I want to do something about it.'” so I’m considering a tummy tuck.’
After the operation, he explained the reasons why he underwent surgery, writing on social media: “It was an accumulation of things: obesity-related medical issues, declining mental health, barely leaving the house.” I needed a second chance for my health.
Chanelle was asked if she felt she had a choice, to which she replied: ‘Yes, definitely. I would have kept eating myself to an early grave if I hadn’t tried surgery. It’s not for everyone and I did a lot of research on it and it changed my life.’
It comes after Chanelle recently broke down in tears over her mental health issues.
The reality show kicked off, adding, “I feel like it’s getting a little old on me,” before admitting that she’s also considering a breast lift because she thinks her breasts are “disfigured” after surgery.
But the star took to social media last week to insist that she is “completely fine” after the emotional moment.
She said that she “likes to keep her social media transparent and reveal what my real life is like” rather than create an illusion.
Chanelle asked her followers not to judge her, as she thanked them for their support after she broke down on Wednesday, saying: “Please don’t judge me.”

In the video, she said: “Please don’t judge me for the fact that I’m in the same outfit, in the same place, just with extra grease in my hair and a pair of glasses.” For the rest I am exactly the same as yesterday’s post.
“Just wanted to say thank you all for the lovely messages of support and sometimes feeling the same way and the recognition that life can suck.
‘Anyway, I’m not going to bore you, I just wanted to let everyone know that everything is completely fine.
Chanelle admitted that “being an adult is hard” and that she doesn’t like to put on a fake smile on social media because “things aren’t always great.”

She continued: ‘It was just one rubbish day in a really rubbish week. I like to keep my Instagram reflective and transparent to what my real life is like.
“A lot of people just post highlights, which is completely fine, they share what they want to share, but sometimes being an adult is hard and social media can be really boring.”
“You see all this stuff about everything being great, but you just sat there not feeling so great, so my post was about showing how it’s easy to put on a smile and highlight the good stuff when we really could use the realization that things aren’t always are like that.” Great.’
She was referring to a video in which she sobbed on social media, admitting she feels “lost and overwhelmed” after a “rubbish” start to 2023.
